The Problem with Apu (2017)
The Problem With Hari Kondabolu, and his awful excuse for a 'documentary'.
SPOILER: Before anyone says 'You probably didn't even watch it!', I did. Not once, but twice.
Not only did I watch this 'documentary' twice, I also watched the interviews with this guy beating a dead horse.
The guy cries about how in his otherwise perfect life, Apu is the problem. And when he doesn't get his way (for example, having a sit-down interview with Hank Azaria, the voice of Apu and many other Simpsons' characters), in the usual SJW leftist manner, he calls Hank 'Privileged'.
This guy wants nothing more than to become famous by using his 'outrage' of 'being offended' and making a cheap, poor excuse for a documentary, while hanging off Matt Groening's creation.
Here's a good example of that too: At about 46 minutes, he says, in quote, 'I certainly deserve a show'. See, I downloaded a torrent because I didn't want to give this guy any ratings by watching his cheap documentary on TruTV, although I could have, I made sure to skip it when it aired.
Don't give this guy the opportunity. If you ignore him, he will go away.
I had no idea who this guy was until these ridiculous accusations of 'offended outrage' started to surface from mainly leftist posts (coming mostly from CNN and HuffPost, that should say everything right there).
Also, during the documentary, at about 4 minutes in, he says 'Now before you call me a Social Justice Warrior who's being very sensitive, let it go snowflake. Well I have let it go, for 28 years.'
Yes, you've let it go so well that you felt the need to make a documentary about it. Usually when someone says 'Now before you call me a -Input statement of what they clearly are here-, they're really trying to deflect and say 'Well... I am, but still'.
He also refers to Hank as 'A White Dude' several times. I think this guy is the real racist. He is a lousy stand-up comedian who mainly uses racial jokes during his stand-up, so he has already limited himself to that (and we all know you can't go very far on just that).
This dude is just screaming 'I want to be famous SO BAD!!! Please every leftist, help make me famous, because my lousy racial stand-up routine isn't cutting it'.
If you watch during the documentary, the small bars and clubs where he's on the stage barley have anyone in the audience. That's a pretty good indication that this guy sucks. You can even see a woman WALK OUT during one of his routines, which made me laugh so hard. I had to watch it twice just to see that, and I had to tell myself 'Why would this guy leave this in?'.
It's so clear what this guy wants. He wants to hang off the success of The Simpsons by appealing to the 'Safe Space' generation.
It's sort of working, because leftists will buy anything that fits into their agenda.
But to every logical thinking individual: Ignore this guy. Don't make him famous.
Traces of Death (1993)
Where Is Damon Fox (Aka. Bill Rocz)??
I really enjoyed this compilation when I was a kid, I used to watch it a lot back in the day.
I always wondered where the director was (Damon Fox), he goes by the alias 'Damien Black' too, although his real, full name is William Robert Rocz Jr.. For those who don't know, his father was Bill Rocz, the local Tempe, AZ film critic. You can see him for a few seconds in Raising Arizona. I first bought a VHS copy of Traces at a video rental store when I was about 12. I also bought The Amazing Shocking Asia the same day. Traces was much better. Later on I discovered Damon's magazine, 'Foxx Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.', and I wanted so much stuff in the magazine, but by the time I discovered it, everything was long gone. Nobody has heard from Damon for years. I would love to know where he is today, he made some INCREDIBLE designs back in the day. And I'm also a fan of the Stormtrooper album 'Armies Of The Night' he made under the name 'Damien Black'. This review is not so much about the film itself, everyone else has already mentioned so much about it, anything I have to say would be useless.
This is just about the mystery of Damon Fox. Where is he today? And no, the Damon Fox that narrated Death Scenes and sang in the band Stormtrooper is not the same Damon Fox that is on Facebook right now. That guy is in the band 'The Cult' and he never responds to any questions whatsoever. A simple 'Not the same guy' would have been nice, but I suppose if you're not Kat Von D or some other semi-famous person, he doesn't have time for replies.
Anyway, if anyone knows where Damon Fox (Aka Bill Rocz Jr.) is today, please let me know. I would love to talk to him about Foxx Entertainment Enterprises. They had highly superior items, not the cheap low quality crap that gets mass produced today.
Monstervision (1991)
MonsterVision was the GREATEST show on earth!
I can't praise this show quite enough. I grew up watching MonsterVision, but not with Joe Bob Briggs hosting the show. Originally the show did not have a regular host. I know Penn & Teller hosted the show nearly the whole month of June 1993, and Bob Denver (The Skipper from Gilligan's Island) host one movie (The Mysterious Island), but before 1996 MonsterVision was mainly just awesome marathons such as Godzilla Bash '94, there were a few Outer Limits marathons (I have 2 different Outer Limits marathons from August of 1991 and December of 1991 with all the commercials intact), there was a Mad Scientist marathon, a Dracula marathon, and many more. I remember growing up watching the marathons with my grandpa, he loved all the cheesy B-Movies that he grew up watching, and it introduced me to some of my now favorites. Those were some of my favorite memories, and I only wish I could go back in time and tell myself to record everything. I wish I could find more pre-Joe Bob MonsterVision recordings. I have nothing against Joe Bob of course, I am a huge fan of his. But the memories I have as a kid staying up late watching the marathons are like nothing else. I have a ton of Joe Bob era MonsterVision episodes, over 100. I was a teenager by the time I started watching Joe Bob host the show. The experience wasn't the same as all the cheesy public domain horror films, but if I stayed up late enough they would show 100% Weird. 100% Weird was kinda like a re-packaged version of the original MonsterVision without the awesome announcer. I would try to catch USA's Up All Night, but it definitely wasn't (to me) as good as MonsterVision. Commander USA was much better than Up All Night, and I was completely devastated when I found out the show was cancelled. Still, there's something about those late nights staying up waiting to see those old movies. Hearing my grandpa tell me about his first experience seeing them was magical. It's such a huge disappointment to see what TNT has become today (TNT Drama, what a JOKE!). I can honestly say that I miss both the early and the late MonsterVision eras, some people I've spoke to about MonsterVision that remember the original show hate Joe Bob, but I think he brought a new life into the show that it needed during that time. When I discovered Joe Bob's MonsterVision (around '98 I think) I had really started getting into collecting 70's, 80's and 90's horror films on VHS. My grandparents owned a video rental store when I was a kid up until 2000 (we had a massive amount of VHS and DVD's just started to surface and become more popular, more convenient and more affordable overall, so that's the main reason we went out of business). I used to take home several horror films I'd never seen before and I found several classics that I fell in love with such as Motel Hell, Return Of The Living Dead 1 & 2, Troll, They Live, The Funhouse, It's Alive and more. I thought very few people knew or cared about these films. Nobody at my school had ever seen them, and I was a proud outcast that only associated with a couple friends that shared the same interests as I. Eventually I got my friends interested in watching the same movies, and it became a competition between us, 'Who could find the best-worst cheesiest classic horror film and introduce it to our group'. That's when I discovered Joe Bob's MonsterVision. I couldn't believe some of the movies that TNT was showing at that time. And Joe Bob's commentary after the commercial breaks was the best part. It was like re-discovering MonsterVision all over again, and I was more mature and ready for the more brutal films from the 80's and 90's. Some people say 'Please bring MonsterVision back! Play new episodes with Joe Bob hosting'. I've seen petitions and lots of comments on the subject. Honestly, to me, it wouldn't be the same.. I wouldn't want to see movies like 'Saw II' or the other crap that Hollywood has shat out over the years, and that's exactly what we would get with a re-vamped MonsterVision. It would be incredible if TNT were to somehow re-broadcast those old shows again, but unlikely. And there would always be many who would be disappointed too. If TNT re-ran the original MonsterVision, the Joe Bob era fans would be angry. If they re-ran the Joe Bob era, fans of the original MonsterVision would be angry (I know I would be, even though I am a huge fan of the Joe Bob, that would mean fans of the original show would likely never get to see our favorite era again). I can say from experience, it wouldn't be the same.. Some people are making these 'Fan Re-Creations' where they just splice Joe Bob's commentary into a DVD or Blu-Ray source copy of the film. I have seen a couple and I can honestly say that I hate them. It makes no sense to me when Joe Bob complains about how the TNT censors did something to the movie, then instead you see an unedited version of the film. It was extremely disappointing and ruined the nostalgic experience for me personally. Watching MonsterVision was all about watching the old TNT versions of the movie, regardless how badly they may have ruined it by censoring or editing it for time. If I want to watch a pristine DVD or Blu-Ray copy of the film I will just do that. I own 99% of everything that was shown on MonsterVision to begin with on DVD and Blu-Ray (besides movies like Pet Shop, because it's never even been released to DVD officially). Until then I'll just stick with my old recordings I guess. I miss the original MonsterVision so much it's unbelievable!!
Joy Ride (2001)
Bad decisions made by the director.
The movie wasn't half bad, what disappointed me was the fact that they used Ted Levine as the voice of the crazy trucker, that was AWESOME. Ted Levine has a creepy unique voice, and if you're a fan of Silence Of The Lambs you know that he played Buffalo Bill (Jame Gumb). It was awesome that they used his voice, but it would have been a GREAT movie if they would have used HIM physically in the movie as the trucker! Instead, on the short action scenes, we get some fat guy. There's even a scene where the fat guy psychically says (without a CB radio) "Watch this! It's gonna be hilarious" as he's holding one of the characters during a struggle. IT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE TED LEVINE!! That's terrible! I would have enjoyed the movie MUCH more if Ted played the actual crazed trucker, instead of some fat unknown guy. It brought back memories hearing Ted talk psychotically on the CB radio of Buffalo Bill saying "PUT THE LOTION IN THE F$@%^&# BASKET!". Otherwise, it was okay, the plot was good, but I can't get over how they ruined the movie with the voice not being the actual actor, just a voice that you wanted to see and you never get to actually see!
B.T.K. Killer (2005)
Absolutely horrible.
I rather have my nut sack ripped off than watch this again! It was more funny than scary. When he said "You don't give a sh*t about that cow" torturing a random chick and pointing out a severed skinless cow head... I almost laughed my a$$ completely off. Did they get a porn director to make this piece of sh*t? I found this at a gas station for $9 and it's just absolutely horrible.... Nobody should rent this movie... and if they do and enjoy it they have some serious mental problems. I sit through it though, but in no way enjoyed it. I thought it might be like "Ed Gein" but wasn't even close. If you want a good serial killer film go rent "Ed Gein. It's excellent.
The Gate (1987)
THIS MOVIE RULES ALL HORROR MOVIES!
This is the most AWESOME Horror movie EVER! I've been looking for the Sacrifyx LP From this movie for 5 Solid Years now, I've tried EVERYWHERE! Noone has it. But on the movie side, This is way worth buying/seeing if you're a Metal Horror movie fan, If you liked Return of the living dead part 2, Black Roses, Trick Or Treat Or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, You NEED to See this! It's worth seeing. Just look at the trailer and you'll see. -SacrifyX (The Dark Book)
